DW will relanuch itself tomorrow, with the lanuch of DW News, the new 24-hour news channel, to compete with CNN, BBC, RT and CCTV:

Quote:
DW, the new 24-hour TV channel in English, with hourly news as well as magazine programs and documentaries, will be broadcast around the world. In Europe it will be available on Astra and Hotbird.
Starting June 22, Deutsche Welle will offer four additional 24-hour TV channels for various parts of the world.
- DW (Amerika) can be received across the entire American continent and offers 20 hours of German and 4 hours of English programming;
- DW (Latinoamérica) informs people in Latin America in Spanish around the clock;
- DW (Deutsch) broadcasts in German 24 hours a day in Asia;
- DW (Arabia) targets viewers from the Arab world - 24 hours in Arabic.
The regional TV channels will remain unchanged in their respective languages, complementing the 24-hour English channel. Only DW (Europe), with its English-German programming via Hotbird, will be discontinued.


Starting today, DW news bulletins were renamed from Journal to DW News (EN)/DW Nachrichten (DE)/DW Noticias (ES)/ DW Al-Akhbar (AR), got new graphics and set.

Well that should be interesting. I haven't watched DW in years though I generally have a favorable opinion of it. I wonder how similar it will be to France 24?

There will be 15-30 minute bulletins on the hour, 2 60-minute newscasts, and 3-minute summaries weekend overnights. The channel lanuches at 6:00 GMT.

Seems to be going onto Astra 19.2E, not the Sky platform, which is a shame. http://www.dw.com/popups/pdf/45701844/dw-via-astra-1m.pdf

And the new DW "News" channel has lanuched with a 50 second countdown, they added the news ticker on screen. During business news the ticker changes to markets version. They should bring back DAX, Eurostoxx 50 and Dow Jones components.

I think the clue is in the video title - 20140812 - 12 August 2014.

I read that not as that the video is from the mid-2000s (you can also tell by the top stories when it aired), but rather that the opening titles and presentation style is that old. The last time I watched DW several years ago, it looked exactly like that, so I think that's true..

Nice clean new look and set. Good to see them making a real effort to compete with other news channels.

Dropping DW Deutsch in Europe, that can't be a good move, how do Germans watch DW Deutsch?
